Ummm that was a stupid comment.

1. If you're a good parent - You should be able to keep "bad" things out of your childrens' reach anyway. Just like some people can keep lethal weapons/guns in the house with children and some can't and end up on the news for a kid shooting himself.

2. It's not good news that it's disgusting and bitter if someone has cancer and they really do have anti-cancer benefits because the person won't eat as many or have a hard time getting them in and not heal as fast as they could.

Some of those old studies might still be available on microfiche at university libraries.. a tedious process but would be interesting to read about the techniques of the 50's.

We're entitled.
I wouldn't eat Apricot Kernels or Apple Seeds....
with or without Cancer. However, if you have a
physical condition, you may want to deviate from
your norm for a Cure. Then re-think your present
diet and lifestyle......WY
